FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
Yes, they are excellent for light running, jogging, and daily movement, though they are not marketed for professional racing.
How do I determine if UK 6.5 is the right size for me?
The Galaxy 8 generally fits true to size. If you normally wear a 6.5 in athletic footwear, these should fit consistently.
Can I put these shoes in the dryer?
No, never put your trainers in the dryer. The high heat can damage the adhesives and cause the foam cushioning to lose its shape.
Are these trainers waterproof?
The Galaxy 8 is designed for breathability, meaning it is not waterproof and may let water in if exposed to heavy rain or puddles.
How often should I replace these trainers?
For consistent users, trainers typically provide optimal cushioning and support for 300 to 500 miles of use.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort after long periods of wear
Ensure the laces are not pulled too tight, which can restrict circulation, and consider checking if your socks are contributing to friction.
Outer sole loses traction on wet surfaces
Clean the outsoles with a damp brush to remove dust or debris, which often causes reduced grip on smooth, wet surfaces.
Visible creases forming on the upper
Use a shoe tree when not in use to help the material maintain its shape and minimize natural creasing from foot flexion.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your adidas Galaxy 8 trainers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Fitting: Ensure you are wearing your preferred exercise socks when trying them on to get an accurate sense of the fit. The UK 6.5 size provides a snug, true-to-size feel.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt or mud. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using a washing machine, as this can degrade the foam integrity.
- Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to maintain the shape of the heel counter and the freshness of the interior.
